Thread: Marc Bergevins moral compass
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>Does attacking MBs ‘moral compass’ make you feel better about yourself, the situation for the victim, or the situation for the player?

You are allowed to be conflicted by the draft pick, but I don’t think we should be attacking the Habs or MB for wanting a talented player who they seem to be committed to helping mature on and off the ice.</div></div>

I think you can attack this pick on three different levels.
1. Morality. I’m not saying the kid should be done with hockey or anything, but given that he asked out of the draft, seems like he’s cognizant that he has some growing away from hockey to do before being able to focus on his professional career.
2. Optics. It’s a business. I think this hurts Montreal’s brand. If i was an owner i would have said, “stay away. Plenty of other good players to draft, and the optics of this are bad. Don’t want to deal with it.”
3. Hockey. I think they could have gotten him in the 4th. Silly pick. He certainly would have been sitting there at their next selection.
